You'll get lots of thoughts on this, but it worked great for me. I used a Great Northern strap on with my Meigs, Chuck Jones and Dave Johnson Hill styles with no issues. Only you can decide how it works for you so give it a try.

For me, putting a bow quiver on a Hill style bow is like putting ketchup on scrambled eggs, Disgusting!!!!
about the only thing as bad would be shooting anything but wood arrows out of one

Some things just ain't right, and a bow quiver on a Hill falls right in there. Actually, though I don't care for bow quivers, a lot of my friends say that a follow up shot can be made faster with far less movement. The best thing to do would be to see if the bow quiver affects performance and let that be the guiding light.

At one time (after hunting with a big bulky bow quiver)I hated the idea of another quiver. Then one day I ran into a guy with a little bitty 3 arrow quiver that looked like it would add almost no weight to a bow. We liked the idea so well that we bought his dies and started making them..., with some improvements. Now we make more varieties and sizes than anyone else.
Don't throw all bow quivers into the same category. Just as there's a bow that particularly
fits you, there is a bow quiver that best fits that bow. I would put our (EFA) largest quiver on a heavy recurve, but with a longbow I would limit it to a mid size 4 arrow.
It is a fact that some quivers will affect some bows to shoot tighter groups and quieter. They are also very convenient.

To each his own. I've hunted with EFA off-set/totem quiver for several years. Works great for me on my HHA bows. Great products, light weight, durable and quiet.

I tried it, but didn't like the lopsidedness. When hunting moose, I use my gfa clone, and a solo stalker on the bow. Otherwise, I use a back quiver.

Even though bow quivers don't work (or look) well on my Hills I enjoyed Rik's photos and good-natured 'poking' from several years ago.
If you haven't seen his 'ilongbow' hunting summaries on uToob you should take a look, the footage and narration is great and the country is beautiful. He puts you right there on the mountain with him. Seems like a dedicated hunter who isn't afraid to get his boots dirty...and he likes Hill longbows to boot! What's not to like...ceptin' that dang thing hangin' off his bow.
